Shoe help please! Hate the ones i bought...

Tina, on June 7, 2019 at 3:23 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 20
Got my dress today and it was the first time wearing the shoes I loved with the dress. Unfortunately I hate them together! The colour works perfectly but the ankle strap makes me look like I have tiny leg stumps! I'm only 5' so I don't need to make it worse. I want high heels and I picked rose gold with Aurora borealis rhinestones but now I need to get something different. Any ideas? Can I get away with silver as well as rose gold? I'm sad they don't work with the dress but I can't unsee the teeny legs now. Lol

    Hmm. I'm assuming you want to keep open toe? Some open toe sparkly pumps would look good. I also heard that pointy toe shoes lengthen the legs.

    You can do really any color with that dress. I'd probably stay away from anything strappy or with too much flash or bling though because then they would just compete with your dress, which is gorgeous by the way! Personally, I would do a simple satin peep toe heel.

    I agree with Allie. I'm 5'1" and sometimes wear pointy toe for work and it helps lengthen me out. I think a sparkly nude pointy toe would look awesome.

    Thank you! I liked the open toe because I figured less toe crampage. Lol but I'm up for anything that fits and works!

    I searched but couldn't find any open toe that didn't have the ankle straps... I'm sure you can find some!

    Ivory would be nice, or if you wanted to go bolder with a purple, since that's your color, you could do that too because your dress is so fun!

    These are strappy but not around the ankle, they have the open toe, and also high heel.

    Those shoes are so awesome.. Maybe give it a few days and revisit the shoe dress combo? I think they look really good together!

    I'd recommend something that goes 'down' at the front-- like a V-shaped toe, or ankle straps that cross over at the front, like the ones Alyssa posted. They'll lengthen your legs and mirror the shape of your dress. Any colour will work, I'd recommend particularly trying cooler colours, so rose gold rather than gold, and grey silver rather than warm-tone silver.

    (By V shaped I mean this kind of shape-- obviously not this colour though!!!)
